More Information

Bubbles are an intriguing natural phenomenon, found in many everyday experiences, from soap bubbles to bubbles in boiling water. Scientifically, a bubble is a thin film of soapy water that traps air inside. Bubbles are formed when gas is trapped inside a liquid film, and they can be manipulated in various ways, such as by blowing air through a straw or heating a liquid to create boiling bubbles. The study of bubbles has led to insights in physics, chemistry, and even medicine, where microbubbles are used in ultrasound imaging.
